Our latest guest, Prachi Malhotra quotes, “drop the rope or you will get rope burn.” What does this mean? According to Prachi, if we don’t learn how to accept life and if we stay in resistance we will get “burned.”  Life is constantly changing and if we resist and don’t learn how to flow with life, we will feel sorrow and or suffering.  We have heard the saying that pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. That means that we must learn to drop the resistance to what is reality unless we want to suffer. That being said it is not an easy thing to do, and we must cultivate the muscle of accepting life and everything that is in it.  

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ― Lao Tzu 

Three takeaways:

What is one tool or skill that one can use to accept? ~ 18 minutes

When we moved to Bahrain about 16 years ago, I already felt burnt out from six years of working as a corporate lawyer and was determined to not go back to work. But life had other plans. After a year long sabbatical during which time I devoured books, lots of rich comfort foods, a great opportunity came my way and I found myself back in the workforce. After about 4 years of working, my world changed upside down when I delivered a premature baby at six months. I quit working and became a full time mum. Looking back, I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful time and opportunity this allowed me to spend with my daughter during her formative years.  Along the way, there have been several rocky and turbulent patches. At some point I got greatly interested in understanding what drives human behaviour and that led me to coming to RTT. This has been the start of a fascinating journey of exploration and what began as a journey to equip myself to help heal others turned into first a journey of self healing. I have since undertaken studies to have a fair  understanding of trauma and the neuroscience of it and how to move through it using body intelligence.
